I was browsing through the other thread about eye problems when a link posted there. (http://www.animaleyecare.net/disease...unctivitis.htm)
Milo I guess is a squinting cat. I've noticed him squinting on and off since he was a kitten, usually if he just woke up. I thought it was just a habit. However last night I noticed some rusty brown discharge for the fist time from one of his eyes last night. There wasn't that much, so I cleaned it for him. It came back this morning and tonight. I'm going to give my vet a call tomorrow, but I just wanted to better understand what I'm talking about. I don't think he has an infection. From what I read, conjunctivitis is common in Persians. (which he's obviously not)
How worried should I be about this?
Here's a picture of his eye:
